Silver
ions are known bactericidal agents and are very effective
at killing bugs even at concentrations well below guidelines
set forth by the U.S. EPA regarding contaminant levels.

Disinfection
of water by dosing silver ions into water is completely harmless.
The silver ions only kill off bacteria, germs, algae, etc.
but do not change the taste, smell, or color of the water.
Nor do
they affect the physical and chemical properties of the water
or the aggressiveness of the water.

The sterilizer
comes as one unit ready to be fitted onto the bulkhead. It consists
of an electronic cabinet, an electrode chamber with two shut-off
valves, a flow setting valve and a pressure gauge. All these
parts are mounted on a common electro-polished stainless steel
base plate. A flow sensor is also installed.
